The GameofThrones IP has been a huge success for HBO thanks to the original show and HouseoftheDragon, and gaming is a space primed for further expansion.
After the generational success that Game of Thrones brought the overall HBO brand, the face of original premium TV has begun a broader expansion of the dark fantasy world of author George R. R. Martin with House of the Dragon. The prequel has reinvigorated the strengths of the flagship show, with more projects underway — including the Jon Snow-led sequel series.
It was publisher Bandai Namco and developer studio FromSoftware’s most successful game both critically and commercially. And while Martin’s creative contributions to the game were limited to the early world-building and lore, that’s all that would be needed of him in a hypothetical video game adaptation — or adaptations — of his own fantasy universe.
There have been many places that were both described at length and only tantalizingly referenced in Martin’s novels and lore compendiums, and the hardware horsepower of the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and modern PCs could help developers flex the creative muscles that a TV production might not allow. Whether it’s because of budgetary, logistical, or creative reasons, the more grandiose and fantastical locales of A Song of Ice and Fire might even translate better in a game.
More than anything, gaming would allow the most fantastical elements of Martin’s world to finally take center stage.
